Hello everyone.. I recently traded my 05 seats for 06 seats. As we all know the passenger rails don't fit properly so I had to modify them to fit, that's done... I have a few questions... Why is the passenger seat sitting higher than the driver? it even sticks out of the roll hoop cover. Also are the 06 female buckles different from 05? I cannot use my seat belt because the male does not go into the female buckle.... How can I fix this? I will take some pics tomorrow to show it. Thanks

 

you should of kept your old seat rails. 05 passenger side is different from the 06.

 

thanks but I didn't know at that time, I had just gotten the car and I'm new to s2000. One question why does the passenger seat seats higher than the driver? Does it have to do with the rails? also are the 06 female buckles different from 05??? I can't engage the male into the female buckle and its my daily driver, I been driving without seat belt risking my life and looking for a ticket. thanks man...I hope to hear other answer from others if possible.

 

'06+ passenger seats do not recline as far back as '00-'05 (and the seats are a bit taller). I found this out when I swapped CR seats into my '04. I swapped rails (which had the buckles attached) and I also swapped the reclining mechanism so the passenger seat could recline back farther.

Hope that helps

The 08 - 09 seats are taller then the 06 07.

 

thanks you guys for your replies, but I still can't think why is only the passenger seat seating higher and not the driver. Its driving me crazy it looks uglyyy...???? also are the female seat buckles different from 06 to 05?

 

Do you have both seats reclined to the same level? I know when I put my '08 seats in, the back of the passenger side was was sitting above the roll hoop and looked stupid IMO. I recline my drivers seat back a bit but the passenger side would not recline any farther. That is why I decided to take the reclining mechanism off my stock seat and swap it into the '08 seat. Now I can recline both seats back to the same position and they both sit below the roll hoops.

I can't comment on the seat belt buckles since I swapped my stock rails onto the new seats.

the passenger seat does not recline more than where I have it, it look really ugly man... I will take some pics in a bit to show them to you guys. thanks for the help.

 

I feel ya...I went through the same thing. If you can find a '00-'05 passenger side seat reclining mechanism that will solve part of your problem. Wish I could help on the buckle part.

 

if I buy a complete seat rail from 00-05 passenger side seat would that solve the problem?
